Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!! Dear Bhagavathas, Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya swamy of Kanchipuram, who is the trustee of Thooppul Vedantha Desikar Charitable Trust has forwarded the following appeal to the internet fraternity requesting participation in the Nityaradhana kainkaryam for Thuppul Deshikan and Marakathavalli Nayika sametha Sri Deepaprakasha Perumal at the temple in Thuppul Kanchipuram. (All translation errors are adiyen's). ============================================================================ ==== - From Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya - Swamy Deshikan, in the Shastriya Niyamanadhikaram of his Srimath Rahasyatrayasaram, elucidates that kainkaryams are twofold - Ajna kaikaryam and Anujna kainkaryam. Ajna kainkaryams are ordained duties that must be performed without fail and with no desire for the fruits thereof. Anujna kainkaryam may be performed seeking a specific fruit or goal. "AjnAnujnA vibhAgena dvidhAshAstrIyapaddhati:" is the kaarikai elucidated by Swamy that states that even Anujna kainkaryam need to be performed as per the prescribed tenets and shastraic doctrines. It should not be performed as per one's own whims and fancies. "anujnA pravruttEpi ... duratyaya:" These tenets should not be transgressed. It is for this reason that everybody cannot perform Thiruvaradhanam at temples. This is therefore done by the archakars who are invested with the rights to perform such kainkaryams. It is by supporting them that we should chose to perform these kanikaryams. Nityaradhanam is deemed as Ajna kainkaryam. The same may also be performed as Anujna kainkaryam. "yAvajjIvamagnihotram juhoti" - One performs the Agnihotram everyday as per the doctrines of the imperial Vedas. "agnihotram juhuyAt svargakAma:" - Out of desire for attaining heaven, one performs the agnihotram sacrifice. For such an aspirant, there arises now a question as to whether Agnihotram need to be performed once or twice a day. If Nityakarmas and Kamyakarmas are performed together in one onservance and though Kamyakarma has been performed seeking a fruit, the combined observance also implies the completion of Nityakarmam. "kAmyAnnityasiddhi:" - Nityakarma will also attain fruition though performed along with Kamyakarma. But with the observance of Nityakarma alone, one is not guaranteed the attainment of heaven or other fruits. These may be achieved only by means of performing a specific kamya karmam. The performer of Nityakarmam is not an adhikari (authority) to receive the fruits of its observance. Fruits of observance therefore, are not attained by performers of Nityakarmam and may be obtained only by performing a specific kainkaryam with phala sankalpam. In a similar way, Nityaradhanam at the temples is an Ajna kaikaryam. Some devotees chose to support this kainkaryam seeking opulence of wealth and prosperity and choose the kainkaryams to be performed on days of their marriage or star etc. Some do it in the name of brahmana bhojanam or tadeeyaaradhanam to acquire some merit for their deeds. If these noble souls choose to participate in this Nityaradhana kainkaryam, then as part of this Aradhanam, food is offered to the Lord first as nivedanam. It is then distributed as annadanam to the archakars and devotees who are bhagavathas. Thus it accomplishes brahmana bhojanam and tadIyArAdhanam. It is not necessary to prepare separate culinaries for brahmana bhojanam and tadIyArAdhanam. Though devotees may be performing this kainkaryam seeking fruits, in this case, it also amounts to the fulfillment of nityakarmam. Devotees may participate in this kainkaryam in the name of nityaradhanam, tadIyArAdhanam or seeking specific fruits for them. But the end result is the smooth conduct of the Nityaradhanam of Swamy Deshikan and Marakathavalli Nayika sametha Deepaprakasha Perumal.
